BluZatChu I know what you’ve been up, I know you ain’t been true I know where, I know when, and I know with who. Gon’ plug in dis-lectric-git-tar, and play some BluZatChu… You know I’d never hurt you, that would just be a shame, But if I had to go to prison, you know I’d take the blame, If you came up missin’, well, it just wouldn’t be the same. I might just have to send some BluZatChu, Cause you know I don’t play that game… ~ Solo ~ You know I can get real hot, you know I can be real real cool, You know how the game is played, I know you know all the rules, But if you cheat on me, and play me for a fool I might just have to send some BluZatChu, ~ Solos ~ I’ll go on an send it, send some BluZatChu. You know I’ll send it, some blues you could use. ~ Solo out ~ ___________________________________________________ BiaB Style is BUDDYG.STY (BuddyG - Raucous 12/8 Blues) RealTracks in song: ~673:Organ, B3, Background Blues BB Ev 085, ~578:Harmonica, Background Blues BB Ev 085, ~?:National Resonator Guitar RealDrums in Song:BluesMondaySw8^08-a,b:Light Snare, Ride High I wrote & sang these lyrics...

I am just loving this, especially the way things took off when that low lead slinked under on being sent. The ending was a bit generic (just the last few seconds, which sounded kinda bolted-on.)
PS – I am trying to swear off comparisons to old guys, but "Gon’ plug in dis-lectric-git-tar, and play some BluZatChu" is Beefheart poetry.

Saw the title and wanted to say "God bless you." Man, I love the way this starts so subtle like the old blues cats, then rolls into a magnificent group of musicians playing the blues from one heart. Great mix, too, bloc-head. Great way to start, continue or end a day.

Throwing in the harmonica gave this a club jam feel.
Very tidy work and a really cool vocal.

A great and and sparse intro creates the perfect scene for some outstanding blues.
And, yes, you delivered.

cool stuff there. Nice clean recording.
I knew a guy in another music forum who had that bluzzatchew thing going on.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Everything about this is top-shelf (like everything else you do).
Great Blues vocal. Nice guitar!
Harp is a nice addition.

And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.
